This week we interviewed Tony Vlachos. He was the second person to leave the game in episode 1 of Survivor Game Changers. It was easy to understand why Tony was invited back for this season. He managed to win his first season with a style of play that had never been seen before. He was an innovator and many fans looked forward to his return. Unfortunately, he lost Sandra's trust on night four, aggravated and challenged her to a duel, and the results are now clear for all to see.

Listen to this interview to hear how his family reacted to him playing again, details on the tricks he planned to use, what really happened before his final tribal council and lots more!

This week we interviewed Ciera Eastin. She left the game in episode 1 of Survivor Game Changers. She's remembered for a couple of risky moves she made back in her first season, and that reputation very much proceeded her for her third attempt. Unfortunately, she was not able to get any traction with her tribe this time and made an early exit providing what appeared to be our first blindside of the season.

Listen to this interview to hear how she struggled with the game, which of her tribemates were crushing it or crashing from the start, how she ended up doing that puzzle again and lots more!

Survivor season 34, Game Changers, is off to a fantastic start! As Andrea noted, the stakes are indeed high, especially for the most notorious players. Were you surprised by the results from the first two tribal councils? Do you think they made the best choices?

How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is in jeopardy of being voted out before the merge? Who impressed you the most? Who would you have kept? How do you think the shuffle will impact the game? Who do you think will be next to go?

It's finally time to wrap up our thoughts and impressions on season 33, Survivor Millennials vs. Gen X. The season got great reviews, and this was easily the best reunion show we have had in years. It was great to go gimmick free and have Probst focus on the majority of the castaways again.

We'll be back in March with our On The Grill show for season 34, Survivor Game Changers.

This week we interviewed Adam Klein, winner of Survivor Millennials vs. Gen X. Adam had a bumpy start in the game and had to fight and scrap to make any headway. It was a long hard slog as he worked his way toward the top all the while having to manage one of the most emotional experiences that the game has ever seen.

Listen to this interview to hear about the injuries he endured, behind the scenes details on how he flipped Ken, a deeper look at how he made his case at the final tribal council and lots more!

This week we interviewed Hannah Shapiro. She tied for second in the finale of Survivor Millennials vs. Gen X. Hannah stumbled quite a bit in the early stages of the game and lost the confidence of her peers, but then she found her stride at just about the halfway point and started playing more strategically. Unfortunately for her, these carefully considered choices were not always visible to the jury and it proved too tough overcome at the finale when she went to make her case for the million.

Listen to this interview to hear how she was cast along with who helped her the most, how she felt about the jury questions, how Survivor changed her and lots more!

This week we interviewed Jay Starrett, Bret LaBelle and David Wright. Jay placed 6th, Bret 5th, and David 4th in the finale of Survivor Millennials vs. Gen X. They will be remembered for their standout gameplay. Jay's story ranged from charismatic leader of a majority alliance to scrappy underdog. Bret lost control early in the game but leveraged his social game to stay afloat till the end, and David transformed himself from a basket case to to a feared strategy powerhouse. We enjoyed watching all of them play.

Listen to this interview to hear how they were chosen, about scenes they wish had been shown, more details on that awesome fake idol and lots more!

Probst said this was one of his favorite casts of all time. These first timers played extremely well. We certainly enjoyed this season and we were quite satisfied with the finale even though this is easily the saddest, most emotional ending we have ever experienced. The advantages fell a bit flat, as is historically the case, but they did deliver a certain amount of suspense leading up to when they were played in the finale. We particularly liked seeing such an effective fake idol, and the challenges were exciting and added a lot of drama to the last episode. We look forward to hearing your thoughts.

What did you think of the final challenges? How about David's fake idol play? What did you think of the Legacy Advantage? How did the final three do with answering the jury's questions? Who in the jury asked the best and worst questions? What did you think of the reunion show? Where does this season rank for you? What are your thoughts on season 34? Are you ready for Game Changers?
